Can you serialize the BigDecimal to byte[]. Byetbuffer has a backing byte[]. It allows off heap mem allocation.
-regards Seemanto Barua From: David Newberger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2016 9:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Converting BigDecial to ByteBuffer Hello All, I have an avro schema that includes the following as a field: { "name" : "currency", "type" : ["null","bytes"], "logicalType": "decimal", "precision": 9, "scale": 4 }, When I run the avro-tools on it to create a java file representing the schema it produces a property that looks like public java.nio.ByteBuffer currency; However, in other parts of the program I’m using Scala with values in BigDecimal types. How can I convert a BigDecimal value to the expected ByteBuffer? Is there anything special I need to do to ensure it is compatible with avro and other tools like Impala? Also is this the correct form to using currency values? Cheers, David Newberger PLEASE READ: This message is for the named person's use only.
